Amphenol is one of the world’s largest designers, manufacturers and marketers of connectors and interconnect systems, antennas solutions, sensors and high-speed cable. Our connector and connector system solutions include fiber optic interconnect, harsh environment interconnect, high-speed interconnect, power interconnect, power distribution and busbars and radio frequency (RF) interconnect products. Our sensors and sensor-based product solutions include gas and moisture sensors, level sensors, position sensor, pressure sensors, temperature sensors and vibration sensors. Our value-added cable assemblies include cable assemblies and harnesses, cable management products and backplane interconnect systems. Our cable solutions include coaxial cable, power cable and specialty cable. We also provide combiner/splitter products, flexible and rigid printed circuit boards, hinges and molded parts.
The PwrBlade® cable connectors are designed to mate to PwrBlade® R/A or vertical board-mounted headers. By expanding beyond BTB applications, designers can now connect power supplies and power distribution sub-assemblies in a wider range of applications. The combination of cable connection capability with Amphenol's proven PwrBlade BTB system provides a universal power distribution connector.
The PwrBlade® power distribution connector system from Amphenol includes power and signal contacts to provide power distribution and power control in a single connector. Options for either vertical or right-angle versions of PCB-mount headers and receptacles deliver support for coplanar, backplane, or mezzanine connections.
PwrBlade® Mini Board-to-Board connector enhances Amphenol's existing PwrBlade® product line with the smallest profile to date. PwrBlade® Mini has an 8.10mm height above board, making it the lowest height power and signal board-to-board connector in the PwrBlade® portfolio. PwrBlade® Mini has a very low end-of-life contact resistance less than 2.0mΩ after testing
PwrBlade® Mini Cable-to-Board strengthens the PwrBlade® cable portfolio even further. Mini cable-toboard serves as an I/O cable configuration to meet the ever-increasing demand for higher current density in low profile applications. Mini cable-to-board is capable of carrying up to 25A/contact (50A/column) with 4 adjacent contacts powered.
The PwrBlade® Mini connector series introduces enhanced features to our existing PwrBlade® products in a smaller profile. PwrBlade® MiniMezz is available in stack heights ranging from 8mm - 20mm with options for power & signal contacts. It also has blind-mate guides that allow for ±0.80mm of gatherability for blind-mate applications.
PwrBlade® ULTRA's design offers an overall height reduction of 24% to reduce airflow impedance in high-density power supplies. Three contact choices are available; High Power, Low Power, and Signal. Ultra-high conductivity materials and new highly conductive plating, combine to produce an ultra-low resistance of just 0.4mΩ at end-of-life conditions.
HIGH POWER BOARD-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Amphenol's new, PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ connector series features an enhanced high-power contact design capable of providing up to 100A per contact (per 4 adjacent contacts) and high-density signal options with up to 6 signal pins per column.
HIGH-POWER CABLE-TO-BOARD CONNECTOR SYSTEM
Amphenol's PwrBlade® ULTRA HD+ Cable-to-Board serves as a high-power I/O cable configuration in a low-profile design. The connector features an enhanced contact design capable of providing up to 84A per contact (per 4 adjacent contacts) and high-density signal options with up to 6 signal pins per column.
PwrBlok® connectors provide a high current power interconnection with a quick connect/disconnect function for space-constrained board-to-board, board-to-busbar, and busbar-to-busbar power distribution applications.
PwrLoPro® connectors are a family of board-to-board power connectors designed to deliver more current with lower profile height and less board space. This high-density and low-profile connector is developed to meet next-generation of 1U applications, telecommunications switches, high-end servers, and hot-pluggable power suppliers.
